I may be a bit behind the 8 ball with this one, as there seems to be a number of posts done about this amazing house already, but I decided to share it anyway in case some of you have missed it.
I stumbled across two fabulous movies on Foxtel this weekend, both of which I'd read rave reviews about but hadn't found time to see. Can't imagine why.....They were,
Horrible Bosses starring Kevin Spacey, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell et al and
The Change Up starring Jason Bateman, Ryan Reynolds and Leslie Mann.
Both fantastically funny and deliciously rude, and I now have a mad crush on Jason Bateman (Ryan Reynolds is a given!). But the point of all this is that the house that features in
The Change Up is pure heaven. I know we all rave about the "Something's Gotta Give", "The Holiday" and "It's Complicated" houses, but you must check this one out too.
The production designer is Barry Robison and set decorator is Debra Schutt. The movie is set in Atlanta although the interior of the house is a set. The house is filled with beautiful classic design and decor, including fabrics/bedding from
John Robshaw, Colefax & Fowler, Osborne & Little, rugs by
Dash & Albert, paints colours from Benjamin Moore, bathrooms and kitchen details from
Waterworks and
Restoration Hardware. What more can I say.

ReplyDeleteGreat post Melinda! It's lovely to get a closer look at what makes movie houses so lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh, that house was amazing! I think it was the main reason I enjoyed the movie! As for the cast - I certainly developed a major crush on Jason Bateman after watching!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the gorgeous pictures.

Hi Melinda,
ReplyDeleteI did see this post on Cote de Texas - It is just gorgeous, isn't it? A few of those images went straight to my "inspiration" file. (Especially the bathroom vanity shot - gorgeous!) Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to see the movie yet - but you have definitely reminded me to make sure I do!
I have lost track of the number of times I have watched "Somethings Gotta Give". I know it has been blogged/talked about/referred to - but I just never tire of it. It still looks as fresh today and lust-worthy as it did when it was first released.
As well as the other ones you mentioned, my other favourite movie houses are from "The Parent Trap" (the more recent version and both houses, but especially the London Terrace. That bedroom.....) - I also loved the house in "Father of the Bride" (the Steve Martin version).
What a great post - thank you! Off to borrow that movie now....
I am now super excited rushing out to get this movie on DVD thanks for the tip :)
ReplyDeleteYou're a girl after my own heart !! Takes me 4 hours to watch "Practical Magic". Adore her shop in that one !! Thank you for the heads up, I'm off to Big W to buy the DVD right now! xox
